Happy #GivingTuesday: Time to Play Games and Give Back!

With 92 games now linking to over a dozen charities, the Charity Game Jam has been a huge success! During this weeklong event, hosted by online game-making community One Game a Month, game developers from around the world created or updated games that are connected to charities and causes of their choice.

We want to give a tremendous thank you to everyone who participated in Charity Game Jam 2 Turbo. Both us and One Game a Month are blown away by the support and the quality of entries that came in.

To celebrate #GivingTuesday, we’re proud to present some games that we hope will encourage giving year-round. All of the submitted games can be played at CharityGameJam.com for free, and one intrepid YouTuber has created a let’s play video series that features gameplay from all of the entries. Here are a few suggestions to get you started:
